How likely is it for the T-Mobile s5 to have a locked bootloader like att and verizon s4?
(I'm worried because the Xperia Z1s from T-Mobile wasn't unlockable even though sony devices usually are... So are locked bootloaders T-Mobile's new policy?)

Anyone think there will be a chance for a GPE? It seems like the M8 will be getting one according to the HTC gallery description in the Play Store. If so, I would prefer the S5 GPE over the M8 version.

May have been answered already, but if I'm not mistaken a locked bootloader will prevent installing a Custom Recovery and I can say for sure I have been able to do that on my Tmob S5. Running TWRP right now, and super-simp to install using the AIO tool from SKIPSOFT
